The temporary projects in Christchurch's residential Red Zone will be able to run for longer following a new lease.
The Government have extended the time frame on the ability to lease from two to five years, Greater Christchurch Regeneration Minister Megan Woods announced today.
"Transitional projects like the Te Ara Otakaro trail or the Avon Ōtākaro Forest Park are great ways of adding life to the Red Zone and making good use of that land while its permanent future is decided."
Ms Woods says they want to support the local people with innovative ideas for using that space to put it forward.
"This is about backing local people to have great ideas for that area and giving them up to five years to develop them, allowing them the space and time to make those ideas a reality."
"We want to see that space as a blank canvas for people with good ideas to be able to use them." says Ms Woods.
